Landon Cassill has made five Cup starts on road courses, but his best results have come on the high-speed Watkins Glen International. His best Sonoma Raceway effort ended in a 31st in 2012.

Cassill should be on a fantasy owner’s radar screen this week so that he can be evaluated. If he scores a top-30, he could be an interesting pick at the Glen in a couple of weeks where he normally finishes several positions better than at Sonoma. Jun 23 - 6:57 PM

An early trend this season seems to suggest that Landon Cassill should be watched closely on flat tracks. In the first 15 races of 2015, he has five top-25s and a 26th; four of these came on minimally-banked tracks.

Cassill’s two best finishes came at Martinsville Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway with a 21st- and 22nd-place respectively, which means he should be on a player’s radar screen in four weeks at New Hampshire. Two of Cassill’s four DNFs this season came on the restrictor-plate, superspeedways. Jun 17 - 7:28 PM

He started the No. 01 Buddie Toys Chevrolet Camaro 28th on the grid for the Great Clips 250. He completed 79 laps of the 125-lap race. Cassill slipped back one spot to 16th in the 2015 XFINITY Series championship standings after this event. Jun 14 - 8:35 PM

For the first time in the past eight races, Landon Cassill completed all the laps of a NASCAR Cup race. He finished 25th among 28th drivers who went the full distance at Pocono Raceway last week in the Axalta We Paint Winners 400.

Cassill actually had a better result the previous week at Dover International Speedway even though he was five laps off the pace. He finished 23rd in the FedEx 400. Three of his last four attempts have ended in the 20s, so fantasy owners can expect another result in that same range. Jun 11 - 9:11 PM

He started the No. 01 Flex Seal Chevrolet Camaro 21st on the grid for the Hisense 300. He led 4 laps of the 200-lap race. Cassill advanced two spots to sit 13th in the 2015 XFINITY Series championship standings after this event.

Landon Cassill qualified 32nd for the Coca-Cola 600 and will probably finish in that same 30th-place range if the past similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track races this season are an indication. He finished 29th last week at Kansas Speedway after taking a provisional.

A more representative result might be his 32nd-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway after starting 33rd. Either way, his potential on this track type is not as great as on a short, flat course after scoring 20-something results in events at Martinsville Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway, and Richmond International Raceway so Cassill can be saved for another day.

In three starts on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks this year, Landon Cassill has improved every week. He blew an engine at Atlanta Motor Speedway and finished 43rd, advanced to 35th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and was 32nd at Texas Motor Speedway.

A top-30 could be in the offing, but not just because of this statistic. Cassill has earned four such finishes in 10 attempts this season, including a 25th on the two-mile, unrestricted intermediate Auto Club Speedway.

He started the No. 01 GK Services Chevrolet Camaro 35th on the grid for the Winn Dixie 300. He completed all laps of the 113 lap race. He advanced two spots to 15th in the 2015 XFINITY Series championship standings.

In his last five starts on restrictor-plate, superspeedways, Landon Cassill has earned three top-15s—one of which was a fourth-place finish—but he has also finished outside the top 30 twice.

The good news is that Cassill’s best results in the past two seasons have come at Talladega SuperSpeedway. He finished 11th in this race last spring and was fourth in the fall. He also had a 12th in the 2014 Daytona 500, which makes him a solid choice for fantasy owners in need of a bargain.

He started the No. 01 Flex Seal Chevrolet Camaro 21st on the grid for the ToyotaCare 250. He completed 249 laps of the 250 lap race. Cassill won the Mobil 1 Driver of the Race award and also moved up one spot to 17th in the 2015 XFINITY Series championship standings.

Landon Cassill earned three straight lead lap finishes from Phoenix International Raceway through Martinsville Speedway and scored results in the mid- to low-20s each time. His last two races have been outside the top 30, however, and the closest he’s come to the leaders is two laps down at Texas.

Cassill has a lot of confidence entering Richmond International Raceway and that could make a huge difference. Last week he was involved in an accident that kept him from living up to his potential, but the Martinsville success proves he can race on short tracks.

Landon Cassill was credited with a 28th place DNF in Saturday's NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Bristol (VA) Motor Speedway.

He started the No. 01 Flex Seal Chevrolet Camaro 19th on the grid for the Drive To Stop Diabetes 300. He made it to lap 268 of the 300 lap event before exiting the race (Brakes). He is currently 18th in the 2015 XFINITY Series championship standings.

Landon Cassill has finished in the mid-20s in two of three races with his current No. 40 Mike Hillman team.

Both of his mid-20s runs came in the last two fall Irwin Tools Night Races; he was only 30th last spring. His last five races on this track have all ended in race results that were better than his qualification attempts, and that has earned place differential points.
